Devour: Emperor Yan

Virtual universe, Heilongshan Island.

Nine Star Bay is home to many large, luxurious residences, some nestled by the bay, others against the low, protruding hills. Each family built their own house according to their own preferences, resulting in a diverse range of architectural styles that can be found here.

The Earth Trio purchased a plot of land near the bay, and their residence was mainly made of wood, not far from the second-hand property that Lin Kun had bought.

In front of the two-story building.

Lin Kun walked out of the house and stood on the grass.

Not far away, Luo Feng and his two companions soon appeared and walked towards them.

"Lin...Kun."

The three looked at Lin Kun with some hesitation.

"Should we call you...Sir from now on?" Thor asked, his tone slightly probing.

"I'm not some kind of adult, I'm just a ninth-level Hengxing," Lin Kun said with a smile, shaking his head.

"Ninth-level of the Eternal Star?!" Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the other two exchanged glances, utterly shocked.

"I have no reason to lie to you. I am indeed a ninth-level Hengxing. The reason I was able to defeat that Nuolanshan with one punch is not only because I had the advantage of being caught off guard, but also because the power I unleashed in an instant was higher than his." Lin Kun gestured for the three of them to sit down at the stone table and explained.

"High explosive power?" Luo Feng and the other two sat down, seemingly lost in thought.

Then, Hong asked curiously, "Could you tell us how many times your body exerted force?"

Luo Feng and Thor were also looking at Lin Kun.

A ninth-level Hengxing warrior actually exerted more physical strength than Nuolanshan, a ninth-level cosmic-level giant axe warrior.

"Exactly 50 times, a breakthrough I just made not long ago," Lin Kun said calmly.

It took him almost two hundred years to go from exerting 38 times the force to exerting 50 times the force, which is nothing to be proud of.

He had been stuck at 38 times the power for a long time and couldn't make any progress. It was only with the deepening of his understanding of the laws that he was able to break through.

"50 times!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng and the other two couldn't help but gasp in shock.

It's important to understand that, given the same physical attributes, a difference of one or two times in exertion can result in a significant difference in strength.

Luo Feng is currently a first-level spiritualist at the Hengxing level. With the help of the Golden Horned Beast's clone's 10 times gene, he barely managed to achieve a 36-fold increase in spiritual power amplitude. However, in terms of physical exertion as a martial artist, he is still far from being able to exert 36 times the power.

Hong and Thor are only at the ninth level of the planetary level, and they haven't even reached 30 times the power in terms of physical exertion.

In the universe, exerting 36 times the force is both a foundation and a limit.

This applies to both mentalists and martial artists.

That's why the widely circulated and recognized 312 basic techniques for spiritual masters and martial artists have emerged.

It's not that there aren't better basic secrets, but rather that these 312 basic techniques are the most suitable for promotion and the most universally applicable classics.

It has undergone countless years of optimization and improvement by numerous powerful individuals, and is now nearly perfect.

36 times is the baseline, but also a limit.

If you want to improve further, you'll need to build on that foundation and put in extra effort yourself.

It requires understanding the domain and its laws.

Reaching 100 times the normal force is the limit of the universe and one of the prerequisites for immortality.

......

After learning that Lin Kun was only a ninth-level Hengxing and not some adult, the atmosphere relaxed considerably, as if they had returned to how they had been before.

After all, everyone's level of understanding is not much different, so they can barely interact as equals.

Of course, Luo Feng and the other two still unconsciously held some respect for Lin Kun.

This is a basic respect for the strong.

At the ninth level of the Hengxing realm, one can master 50 times the power!

Such a existence also deserves their respect.

"How many times stronger was that Norlhan Mountain's power?" Thor asked curiously again.

Luo Feng and Hong also looked at Lin Kun with curiosity.

"His is probably around 38-39 times, which is a fairly normal value," Lin Kun said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the three of them looked at Lin Kun with respect mixed with a hint of awe and longing.

Nolan Mountain, a ninth-tier cosmic-level being, is not normal. He has won a thousand consecutive matches in the Giant Axe Arena. How is that normal? Even so, his power is less than 40 times.

Lin Kun is only at the ninth level of the Star Realm, yet he managed to exert 50 times the power!

Even if they are completely ignorant, they understand how valuable this is.

Moreover, Luo Feng also has Babata, his "teacher" who has lived for a very long time.

At this moment, Babata's voice roared wildly in Luo Feng's mind: "Luo Feng, don't listen to his nonsense, it's not normal, it's not normal at all! This guy is definitely a genius! A true super genius! Luo Feng, you've hit the jackpot by becoming friends with such a monster! A huge win!"

"Babata, I know something's not right. A true super genius, a prodigy?"

Luo Feng muttered to himself, then asked, "Babata, if I try my best to catch up, how long would it take me to reach his 'normal' level?"

"Trying to catch up?" Babata was taken aback.

He was somewhat unsure how to answer the question.

"...Luo Feng, although you possess the legacy left by your great and immortal teacher, as well as the Golden Horned Beast's avatar and inheritance, if you want to reach his level at the Hengxing level..."

Finally, Babata considered for a moment before replying, "Difficult, very difficult! Even more difficult than your normal path to becoming a Realm Lord!"

"This is a star-level planet!"

"This is something that can't be achieved simply by having a lineage... comprehension is the key!"

"Just think about Nolan Mountain. How many years has Nolan Mountain lived? At least tens of thousands of years, right? And he's a ninth-tier cosmic-level giant axe warrior. Even Nolan Mountain can't do that, and the difference is huge. You can imagine!"

Babata didn't say anything about the law.

Because these are still too far from Luo Feng's level. Luo Feng has only just come into contact with the realm and hasn't even comprehended the first level of the realm yet.

law?

It's just too far away.

"Is that so..." Luo Feng seemed thoughtful, sensing the reservation in Babata's words.

He smiled immediately, a surge of fighting spirit rising within him. "Is this the true super genius of the universe?"

"Yes, a true peerless genius, a prodigy!"

Babata said solemnly, "I don't know how someone like him could appear in a small place like the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. Logically speaking, even looking at the entire Qianwu Universe Kingdom, you can't find many geniuses like Lin Kun."

"I understand. I was a bit narrow-minded before, thinking that I could be complacent just because I possessed the Golden Horned Beast... Now that I know the gap, I have to work harder. Babata, double the training from now on!" Luo Feng said resolutely.

"Understood. From now on, I, Lord Babata, will train you well." Babata revealed a devilish smile.

"Gagaga~ Luo Feng, get ready to enter hell mode!"

Not only Luo Feng, but Hong and Lei Shen also made a decision in their hearts at this moment: they would work even harder in their cultivation in the future.

After realizing the gap, they were not discouraged; instead, a strong fighting spirit arose in their hearts.

Previously, they didn't have a clear point of comparison, so they had no idea of ​​the gap between themselves and the true geniuses in the universe.

Now that they have Lin Kun as a reference, they know: the Hengxing level can be this strong!

With a goal in mind and something to strive for, a burning flame ignited in their hearts.

......

Seeing the fighting spirit and determination surging in the eyes of the three, Lin Kun smiled.

Unsurprisingly.

These three are the three most outstanding members of the Earth lineage in this generation!

Each of them possesses talent and potential no less than that of Emperor Yan.

It is especially powerful in cultivating one's mind.

That's good.

The four of us will be companions in the future!

A surge of pride welled up in Lin Kun's heart. He laughed heartily, waved his hand, and took out a pot of fine wine and several cups, filling them all to the brim. "I'm happy today, come, have a drink!"

"That's exactly right!" Luo Feng and the other two laughed and raised their glasses.

"Dry!"

Ding!

The four glasses clinked together lightly, and then the four of them drank it all in one gulp.

"happy!"

The four men exchanged a glance and burst into hearty laughter.
